New Year Resolutions

Tezcatlipoca

The obvious bedfellow to the New Year Drunkeness thread is this one, and since I seem to be awake first, and without a hangover, I suppose it falls upon me to start it.

Come on then. You've rung in the New Year by being utterly wrecked, have greeted Janurary with a grimmace and a headache, so what's next?
Are you going to cut down the alcohol, knowing full well you'll drink just as much? Finish that novel that you always say you will but which in reality just sits there collecting dust? Learn to play an instrument that will compelte frustrate and infuriate you after a week or two and won't get touched again?

What are you promising yourself you'll achieve by the close of 2006?

Diet.

(I know one word replies are frowned upon here but I think that's all that needs to be said really.)

Use my gym membership card for more than dodgy photo ID.

Take my career more seriously in terms of making more of an effort to schmooze with medical colleagues. Think of myself as a permanent fixture rather than a locum passing through. Get on top of paperwork.

Eat more fruit.

Make more time for pervy sex.

I'm going to learn how to rip out throats like James Dalton. Then I'm going to clean up the comic forum like it was the fucking Double Deuce.

I am never going to drink again.

I am going to become younger and thinner.

I shall be less grumpy and stop wanting to thump annoying strangers on the tube.

I shall count my blessings.

Thanks. I will.

I will not lose my rag with people who put HTML in their summaries, forgetting Tom disabled that option.

Otherwise, I will start to sort my life out this year, as my previous clever plan of ignoring all the problems worked so well.

Last year I had pages of the damned things, with headings, and sub-headings. But this year it is:

to have a nice simple life, without dramas

Get a new job (been saying it for well over a year now)

Stop swearing so much

I want to get out of debt in 2006. Not gonna happen with the student loans, but if I can pay off my credit card ($5000) and unpaid medical bills (estimated $2000 but I haven't actually added it up) I will be a very happy girl.

Slightly easier but just as boring - I'd also like to be more conscientious about separating the use of my business and personal checking accounts.

To avoid having all my resolutions be boring and monetary, I'm also going to resolve to take a vacation in 2006! My boyfriend's family wants to do a big family vaca in Tennessee or something this year, and as odd a location as that is I would love to go.

Haven’t formulated any clear statements of intent or anything, but I guess I have vague feelings along the lines of “gain some more self confidence”, after a year that has frayed my nerves quite badly. An adjunct to that would be “sort myself out” or something like that, though I’ve no idea what I’ll be like once I’ve achieved that state. Probably some alarming android person that always just so happens to find themselves on the moral high ground in disputes and things... Ach, I suppose it’s just good old new year hangover time...

I'm giving up fear this year. Not the good and useful fear that keeps me alive, but the sad, disheartening fears that limit my ability to do the things I want to do with my life. No more fear of criticism, failure or shame.

I'm going to take up some kind of a sport again to get rid of office arse. Can't do gym too boring. It would have to be something dramatic and exciting that also doesn't involve knocking other people down or probably any bodily contact (completely lacking killer instinct you see),Parkour would be cool if not for the possibility of social embarrassment which leaves tennis, squash?

alas

23:55 / 01.01.06

1. Dance more
2. to be a little less serious, less anxious about everything

Oh and give up smoking although my will in that respect is laughable.
Laughs: bwhahahahhaha ha ha hyeuch hyeuch hhhhhh hyeuch. Oh god.

1) Make new and different and interesting friends. Ones who I won't shudder and cringe to be around. Ones who don't think every awesome anecdote starts with, "I went to this crazy party"

2) Save an assload of money, store it someplace tighter than my anus, and buy a new car.

Oh and give up smoking although my will in that respect is laughable.

I gave up smoking in 2005, quite by accident. In 2006, I intend to find some inexpensive and health-giving way of taking it up again.
